“The art of learning to position oneself in a peloton in field sprints is of utmost importance in racing success. Learning how to corner fast and effectively can be a bigger determiner in racing success then absolute power numbers. Everyone will learn how to draft effectively, rotate both single line and double and get the most out of the work of others. At this clinic, we will teach everyone the tricks needed to hold and take a wheel. These are all skills that turn the good biker into a great one.”
**Camp limited to 50 Riders!!!**
